Albums That Changed My Life (A Little Late)

Bob Dylan - "Bringing it All Back Home" My last year in Haiti I discovered this little gem and "Never Looked Back" (Dylan fans will get that.) This album made me fall in love with the art of songwriting, and it was the first time I picked up the guitar. It's my favorite album, and it changed my life the most.

Death Cab for Cutie - "Photo Album" It seems like I listened to this album on every drive back from the beach. Whenever I hear beach sounds, or have a sunburn I also hear songs from Photo Album playing in my head.

Bob Dylan - "Modern Times" My Bob Dylan obsession suddenly stopped with this album. Not that this album wasn't good, it was great. I just finally saw him as a normal artist again. I remember cruising in Wilmington, N.C. with this blasting in my Saab. Right before it would die.

Hopefully a new artist will impress me soon, but for now I'm happy with the "life changing" albums I have.

Justice in New Life

Fresh eyes, and a new life.
I know I would choose you again.
New souls, and new bodies.
Please let me be apart of your plans.
I was born to love of you.

New friends, and new families.
New loves, and new heartaches.
You are my best friend,
You'll love me no matter what it takes.
I was born to run to you.

I swam across lake Geneva.
Cold wind on my back.
If I should grow weary
I think of you on the shoreline.
One look, in your eyes
And I know you're same in death as in life.
I was born to die with you.
